    My Mum very kindly sent me £10 today along with some recipes to try, so I’ve paid another £10 off the mortgage as an overpayment. 
    Balances now: Mortgage @ March 2019 £107K, now £100,990
    Mortgage OP's 2019: £2301.68/£1800
    Savings: EF £1275; H2S £1150 (+£575 bonus); PB’s £300 = £3300

    My hairdryer died on me this morning so I’ve picked another up for £12.99 from B&M. I was going to go to Argos and get one but this one was much better and cheaper. :)
    I also stocked up on lots of lovely birthday cards as they were only 59p each; I picked up porridge pots to keep at work, (3 for £1), and much needed hair dye to hide the grey. :(

    Some eBay items have just ended, making around £38 after fees. A couple didn’t sell, so I’ve re-listed those. I’m pleased it made a nice bit of money as they were two of the ‘family’ items I felt bad about selling. The money will be used as an extra mortgage overpayment, I feel like that’s the best thing to do with it - family items helping with our home.

    A BIN ebay item sold overnight for £18 + postage so I’ve sent another £15 overpayment to the Mortgage this morning.

    The monthly payment has been paid off the mortgage today so, with interest added, it’s down to £100,599.64. The interest was £171.11 this month, so around £5.90 per day.  :o I’ll be really pleased when I get the mortgage down to under £100K.

    A portion of previously batch-cooked lasagne is cooking for DS’s tea and I’ve got some chicken in the oven whilst it’s on for me for later. Veg is also prepped.
    Yesterday was the first day in the week I didn’t stick to my diet. I was so flipping hungry that I ate whatever was nearest! OH took me out for food last night too which wasn’t the healthiest, but was lovely. Determined not to go completely off the rails though - hopefully I’ve still lost some weight this week when I jump on the scales tomorrow. 
    Tonight I need to plan meals for the rest of the week for DS and myself. I also plan on dyeing my hair, having a hot shower and sitting in my pj’s for an hour before getting an early night, I’ve not been sleeping well so am shattered.
